Parents and Students,
Don’t forget no school on Monday, Feb. 16th. This will be a professional development and work day for NEISD Staff. We will be using our time to review student data and plan for upcoming instruction!
Please look closely to the calendar, because we have added benchmark testing dates in red. WE will keep the campus closed until about 10:40a.m.,when the first lunches start. If we have WatchDOGS signed up to volunteer, they will be allowed to work in other grade levels until after testing. We do not “close” the campus in an attempt to cause inconvenience, but in order to give our students a quiet environment in which to test.
This coming week, our students will be using a keypad when they come through the cafeteria line. They will be required to enter their lunch codes. This will slow our lines down somewhat and we appreciate your patience. Ask your child if they know their lunch code. If they do not have it memorized, now would be a great time to start practicing. THE Cafeteria Ladies plan to work alongside of our students until this is an efficient and effective process. In keeping the cafeteria update, I would like to share that we have started talking more about recycling and our recyclable bags went from 2-3 bags a day to 14-16 bags a day. Thank you to our students for being conscious about the world in which we live. I am very proud of them!
On a safety note, thank you for working hard to keep our students and staff safe. A few reminders:

Hey Tigers, with Run For The Heights just around the corner it’s time to think about tidying up our campus. On Sunday, February 22, we will be meeting at Tuscany Heights to pick up litter around the school. We will meet from 1pm-3pm. Volunteers are needed to help with this important task. We request that parents plan to stay and volunteer with their children, as we cannot properly supervise them while they walk all around picking up. Please plan to wear gloves and bring water. There will be a contest for the most unique item found!
5th grade students – 5th grade spirit is popping up all over campus. Don’t forget to make your mark by showing off your 5th grade spirit shirt on WILD Wednesday!
Winter Spirit Wear – Limited adult sizes are available in the office
Adult Long Sleeve Shirts - $20
Adult Hoodies - $27

If you’ve been waiting to settle in to the new school year before getting involved, or maybe you’re new to our campus, wait no longer! PTA could still use your help! We’re a fun, supportive group who love making a difference on our campus, and we’re looking for volunteers to fill the following chairs:
Cafeteria – Legislative Action
We’re also looking for a volunteer to help with school pictures in the spring. If you would like more information or have any questions about any of the volunteer opportunities please don’t hesitate to ask. I’d be happy to visit with you.

On a safety note, thank you for working hard to keep our students and staff safe. A few reminders:
- Cross with your children at the cross walk when dropping off to ensure they are safely across traffic; Our crossing guards have their eyes on moving vehicles.
- Handicap spaces are reserved for handicapped visitors, students, or staff; If you have a handicap tag, please ensure it is visible. When a visitor or a child that is handicapped doesn’t have a close space to park, it can be difficult for them and their families. I appreciate your understanding.
- Campuses are Tobacco and Weapon Free- Smoking on campus is not acceptable. There is a sign upon entering all NEISD Schools. Thank you for using safe practices while around our children!
